The top 10 foods that damage the kidneys!

Humans are born with about 2 million glomeruli, which they use throughout their lives. Glomeruli do not regenerate, and when one dies, there is one less glomerulus. As human life expectancy continues to increase, the kidneys must be used sparingly to avoid the risk of dialysis when you are old.

One in nine people suffer from chronic renal failure. Many people say, “Dr. Hong, I eat these foods every day and nothing happens to me.” It’s not that nothing happens to me, it’s that my kidneys are slowly being damaged without me realizing it.

Today we are going to identify 10 very common, easily overlooked, and “kidney-damaging wolves” in sheep’s clothing.

If you eat this kind of food frequently, you will feel thirsty, suffer from edema, gain weight, and have bubbles in your urine. Before you know it, your kidney function will deteriorate faster than your peers.

There are hundreds of foods that damage your kidneys. Which 10 foods are quietly damaging your kidneys? I believe you are eating many of them. For the sake of kidney health, you should eat less of the following foods.

No. 10 : Breakfast Cereals

Breakfast cereals include corn flakes, wheat flakes, oatmeal, etc. The main health-oriented cereals claim to be low in fat, low in cholesterol, and high in fiber, which makes people mistakenly believe that they are healthy cereals like natural brown rice, oats, and whole grain rice, rich in fiber, minerals, and protein. In fact, the main ingredients of these breakfast cereals are carbohydrates wrapped in sugar, which are very bad foods that damage the kidneys.

According to a survey by the Directors Foundation, half of the breakfast cereals on the market contain more than 500 mg of sodium per 100 grams. In 2006, a British consumer magazine tested 275 breakfast cereals and found that nearly 90% of breakfast cereals marketed to children were high in sugar, 13% were high in salt, and 10% were high in saturated fat.

These are actually processed foods that are high in oil, salt, and sugar. Since we have to eat them for breakfast every day and for many years, we must be careful. We should feed children more natural whole grain root foods and less processed convenience foods.

No. 9 : Scallion pork floss roll, crispy bread
